MBB Transfer Portal Thread: Moser Year 4

KU is supposedly in a good spot for Wisconsin G AJ Storr as well.

Storr's GF:

If that happens, it would seem to shoot down the theory that he demanded a billion dollars and wouldn't settle for less, since the rumor was that KU wouldn't budge on its offer. Again, I take all of this with a grain of salt.
 
Wow what a shitty day.. Overton gone.. BG retires.. Pedulla/Garrison not trending well.

I do like Parish & Goodline.. not sure about the other guys.. Anderson/Scott or Hill ehhh???
 
It’s sad that we have to wait for teams like Mizzou to have their pick before we start getting ours…figure it out, OU! It’s not this hard!

I would not say that we are waiting for other teams to take their pick.
There are still high level kids entering the portal.
If I was a coach, I would only offer kids that I knew for sure I would take above any other target.
While I would establish communications, I wouldn't get an offer to everyone that I thought would be a good get.
I'd be selective because the last think you want is to fill your roster and then someone better enters the portal and you are SOL.
And that's why I'm not too concerned and won't be until the roster is set and the portal is closed.
It's gotta be tough for a coach to navigate the portal and know when to offer without knowing if anyone else is entering
 
We may never know this but I think a return to Drake was Overton's 2nd choice (if there was one, you know). That was my read on things. Whatever OU's pitch was, he didn't like it...it seems like.

I don't love how this staff operates (talking the portal, mostly).

Examples:

FSU F/C Cam Corhen. "Secret visit" comes out after he committed to Pitt. Why was it a secret? What fuccing purpose does the secrecy serve? Everyone can google the dude when he hits the portal. Texas kid who had an OU offer out of HS. I'm not qualified to coach high level ball but even my dumbass said, "he'd help OU", in part because he's a "local" kid. You can't publicly recruit him? You can't pry him away from Pitt? Capel shouldn't be able to beat OU for a Texas kid.

Tennessee G/F Freddie Dilione V. Like 2-3 days ago, Dilione followed Coach Moser on IG. Did he get a follow back? No. There's no way to know this but I bet Moser doesn't even personally use IG and whoever it is that does run it, hasn't logged in lately. Is that a small thing? Sure, but small things can matter. NC State wants Dilione. NC State, largely due to DJ Burns, just marched in March, so to speak. Louisville, with a newly hired (winning) coach, likes Dilione.

Coaches who don't follow portal recruits on Twitter: Moser, Gates, Jesperson, and Morris. Do they have to? I guess not but from my vantage point, most of the other big-time staffs are out there utilizing social media. Again, little things can be big things.

OU will land some kids, I'm sure, but man....things seem to be completely dysfunctional as we sit here on 4/16.

I just need to know what he’s selling these kids because whatever it is, it’s not working.
 
Things can seem dysfunctional from the outside. It is all a guess though.
I can see the reason for secret visits. Kids these days are fragile. If one of our other Center targets finds out about another center visiting, it could hurt their pride and turn them off.

If I had to guess, PM likely will not promise starting spots and probably isn't keen on talking NIL.
I get the feeling he is a lot like BV. He is going to tell it like it is...to a detriment a lot of the times.
You can overcome it in football. It is a lot harder in bball

Not talking NIL when 98% of these players just care about that might be one of the dumbest statements I've ever read on a Forum.

This isn't the 90's.

I'm not saying that he doesn't talk about it. I just don't think he is willing to play the back and forth game.
It is all a guess on my part. But I would not be surprised if he has a number and gives it to the kid and says this is it.
I don't think BV plays the nil game either. Other people on staff might but he wants people that want to be here for ball...not money

Agreed, the basketball team needs a support staff (all of the hires the football team is making) for the portal. It's a full on professional operation now in CBB.

OU football for sure plays the NIL game. Big time. They have to play the NIL game. How you think they got Rouse from Stanford over Nebby last year? It wasn't by Bill Bendenbaugh taking him out to a steakhouse.

OU football might...BV isn't. BV wants players that are here to play football. If a player is jacking OU around, BV will drop them without a sweat
